  1. To Be able to use the products and services multi select buttons to create a quote or invoice.

    Example.

    Go into products and services
    Select all products needed via the tick boxes.
    Click the 3 dots in the top right of screen.
    Have option to add all selected items to quote or to invoice.
    Continue normal quote/invoice process from there.

    This will then speed up the process if companies (like ours) that have similar product codes but in different sizes that are bought together or that go out with other products.

  3. From the people at Hike POS:
    "We’d like to inform you that when a product is archived or removed in Xero, it does not automatically become inactive or get removed in Hike. This is due to API limitations on the Xero side that currently prevent this type of sync."

    Please update you API to allow syncing of archive products.

    Hi Alan, thanks for sharing this.

    We've reviewed your suggestion, and now it's up to the community to get behind and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit, so they can add their votes too.

  4. ABILITY TO AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE ITEM PRICE ON A SPECIFIC DATE

    Obviously item prices vary and when we give customers notice of a price change, sometimes this is months in advance. Now I know I could add a note to the item, but seriously, this would mean checking the notes for every item which would become very tiresome + time consuming.
    I would like the ability to be able to go into a line item and be able to change the price of the item on a specific date, so that it when that date comes the item price has automatically…

    Hi Kirstie

    Thanks for sharing this idea about setting future prices for inventory items.

    It's now up to the community to get behind and support your idea. Other members can now add their votes and comments about how this could also benefit them.

    In the meantime, you'd need to edit the price at the relevant date, either manually or by exporting and importing your items if you need to update lots of prices at the same time.

  5. When adding products from suppliers, it would be great to be able to add multiple suppliers details on one product (to save having the same item listed multiple times with each individual suppliers codes/costs etc). For example Supplier 1: Coca Cola Cans, Code: 1234 Cost: £12.99, Supplier 2: Coca Cola Cans, Code: A1244, Cost: £19.50. Rather have Coca Cola saved twice had sections within that product for multiple suppliers.

  7. When COGS posts via tracked stock on a sales invoice, record the sales invoice number the COGS value relates to in the nominal ledger. There is already a field for this, but Xero does not populate it.

  8. The option to view the product descriptions when in the Product and Services list should already be a feature.

    Many of our products have an abbreviated item name, with the description containing the expanded product information. Opening individual products to view the description takes a significant amount of time as we have over 1,500 items.

    It is also the product description, not the product item name, that appears on invoices to customers, so it only makes sense to be able to view the descriptions from the P&S list.

    Hi Community! 👋

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m happy to share that this is now in development.

    With this update, you’ll be able to choose whether to show or hide the sell and purchase description column on the Products and services list page.

    I’ll circle back here again once the change has rolled out. 🙂🙏

  9. Products & Servicesw - Add Avergae Cost Column

    Suggestion - Add the option to show and hide the average cost of a product.

  10. For tracked inventory items, there's no way to change the inventory asset account which can be inconvenient. As the inventory grows, they are put under new different classifications so I want to add a new inventory asset account for each. However, I cannot change it in the item's inventory asset account when it is already tracked. It would be very helpful if this will be allowed. Or at least a way to delete a tracked item if there's no transactions/bills, but only adjustments.

  11. This will allow a more accurate look on the stocks pre-ordered as well as incoming stocks. Instead of having to click each item to see it.

    Even in the reports, it's great to see it so we can just generate a quick report about it.

    Hi team, we appreciate the value some businesses would find in being able to report on values of items that have been committed in quotes or quantities on order from purchase orders. While this isn't something we have plans around right now, we'll continue to track the interest for this from your idea here and share if there are any plans made.

  12. I would like to use Mailerlite with stripe and xero to sell my products. When I log into stripe my products catalogue is empty. I need my products in stripe to be able to use the Mailerlite landing page to sell my products

    Hi!

    Thanks for sharing this idea about synching inventory items between Xero and Stripe..

    Now it's up to the community to get behind the idea and support it. Make sure you share your idea with any colleagues that this could benefit so they can add their vote too!

    Along with votes, other members can now add their comments about how integrating inventory items between the two would also improve their experience.

  13. When looking up product history Xero lists what invoices product was sold on. It would also be nice to be able to see the customer's name. This would make things much easier when trying to look up pricing assigned to specific customers.

  16. I would appreciate the Search engine to be reverted back to how it was. The new "upgraded" search is close to useless. When I search for clients, I expect all relevant clients to come up. I don't want to type in the whole client name, just to get their details to show up. Previously I could type in a few letters and the search would come up with an amazing list of relevance....
    1. Contact listed first
    2. Invoices listed next
    3. Bills listed thereafter
    4. then lastly bank transactions

    These searches used to come up with appropriate information and…

  18. The ability to see the history of an item's selling pricing within the Invoicing screen would be extremely helpful. Sales staff would be able to quickly access the selling price history of items within the Invoice screen to ensure that the latest price is used on invoices.

    The ability to see this history within the invoice screen will also remove the need to access a separate report in Xero to view the history of inventory item sales price, which will save a lot of time.

    This would also be particularly beneficial for businesses who have frequent changes in their selling…

  20. Inventory - We are considering switching to Xero from Sage50, but have come across the issue of not being able to add an inventory item's "Bin Location" to the packing slip. We could include the bin location in the description of the item, but we don't want this to appear on the customer invoice. We only want the item's location to appear on the Packing Slip for the warehouse operatives to locate the items easily.
